I think you meant pretzel not bagel.

Maybe egg wash?

It’s possible but I’d bet it’s an egg wash, after the three pattern stamps you can tell the dough is wetter, but I’ve noticed with a lye dip that the uncooked dough begins to yellow noticeably in a few minutes and I don’t see that happening here.

I did my Peace Corps service in Kyrgyzstan where bread just like this is eaten daily. I learned it was called lepyeshka (лепешка), tokach (токоч), or even just Uighur bread (Уйгур нан) depending on the person and region. You’d always tear the bread up with your hands, offer some tea, and serve it with jam, honey, this spicy tomato salsa/chutney that everyone homemade, butter and/or kaymak (каймак)
My memory is that lepyeshka is a pretty basic dough with flour, water, salt, yeast, and butter. The top gets a wash of egg yolks and milk beaten together. The tandoors are heated very hot and the dough only takes about 5 minutes to bake.
I’ll have to hunt down my Peace Corps cookbook, I wonder if there’s a recipe for this bread I’m there.

I have never wanted to eat something that I saw in a video more in my entire life than I do right now.

I am from Central Asia, and I can confirm that this bread is the most delicious bread! It can be compared to a bagel, but the texture is still different, inside it’s much softer than bagel, outside it’s crispy. I believe there are videos on YouTube of how to make it at home even without tandoori oven.

How the hell did it be upside down?

I grew up in Uzbekistan. It is an egg wash. The texture is similar to Indian naan. Some are more dense than the other.
